The Effectiveness of Domestic Elderly Nursing Simulation Education over the Past Decade

Purpose : This study aims to analyze and summarize the trends of research conducted on domestic elderly nursing simulation through a thematic literature review method, in order to gain insights into the overall direction of research in this field. Method : This study conducts a thematic literature review of papers published in domestic academic journals, focusing on topics related to domestic elderly nursing simulation, to understand the research trends in this area. Results : The analysis of research topics revealed the following themes addressed in the papers related to domestic elderly nursing simulation: ‘Development and validation of a simulation-based educational program aimed at enhancing patient safety performance for caregivers in elderly care facilities’, ‘Effectiveness of simulation-based education in preventing frailty among the elderly through home nursing interventions’, ‘Impact of simulation-based practical training programs on home health management knowledge, problem- solving skills, and clinical performance’, ‘Development and effectiveness of standardized patient simulation- based professional training programs for managing home care for seniors with dementia’, ‘Nursing students’ experiences in virtual simulation and hybrid simulation-based elderly nursing practicum education: a mixed-methods research approach’, ‘Effects of simulation-based education on communication skills, academic self-efficacy, and attitudes towards the elderly among nursing students when caring for elderly individuals with cognitive impairment’, and ‘Assessment of demand for simulation-based home nursing education for frail elderly individuals’. Conclusion : These findings underscore the diverse applications and effectiveness of simulation- based education in various aspects of elderly nursing care in domestic settings.
